LETTER: Sunday sales would be destructive

The question was asked, “Would Sunday sales boost the economy?” After thinking about this question, I have serious concerns as to how it will play out. Comparing six-day sales to seven-day sales, what extra cost and damages to health and families be? There will be more alcoholic drinks consumed, thus less money to take care of families. There will be even more strain on families, especially children. It will destroy families. And, of course, there will be more damages from wrecks and other accidents, as we know alcohol causes a person to not think and react normally.As for the economy, I feel it already is too far gone, and will be hindered even more.This country was founded on Christianity, and people who don’t think values are anything are trying to destroy it. It’s all about money and power.Also, we see evil old socialism sneaking in, trying to degrade our country, so a dictator can take over. The more alcoholic drinks there are, the easier it will be, because alcohol causes people not to think rationally. To answer the question plainly, Sunday sales will only help to destroy a once decent nation.W.C. Murphy Jr.Gadsden
